umm, no, I'm definitely not under that impression.

I have no excuse for that.
There was a runnel, but at least I fell gracefully. And, AND, it was after the difficult technical section.

He told me of a long ago attempt...I believe it including leather bindings and cardigans.
I offered to teach him right up!

all of you shut it about the winter activities.. don't you know it's the prime season for rock sending. no greasing off shit.. no sweating your ass off on approaches (cept jay.. sweaty bastard), no bugs, perfect sleeping weather.
haven't been skiing in 2 years.. if it wasnt so freaking pricey i'd come ski with ya jay up in the ME but its iffy.
i haz these 160cm

I think I may have to retire the fleece squirell suit. I love it, but I don't wear it too often and it takes up a lot of room in the suitcase.
I'll wear it this weekend at rumney and then donate it. *sniff*.
Oh well, means I can bring my penguin costume to the ice fest!

This ski talk is trooly terrible. Anyone who thinks that winter activities should be anything beyond drinking beer and climbing limestone in Mexico should be arrested and taken to re-education camps.

Well, I was going to make dinner, then my roomie called and said he felt like making a big fancy dinner and I can make him one sometime later.
Thus, I'm on the couch as he's making haddock, garlic bread, pasta, and salad, and un corking the wine.
WIN!ds

You are both kerrect.
I'd like to ski, but it'd interfere with my ice climbing.

We had curried chicken, hummus, barley, and fresh tomato, pepper, oregano, and basil from the garden. Even better, clausti did the dishes.

You don't pay attention do you? We will be at the Red. once a donny, always a donny. Chossie! We will be at the RRG this upcoming weekend as well. We bailed on this weekend at the last minute, due to the bad storm yesterday and rumors of soggy rock. Hopefully your Patagucci gearz will have come by then, too. blondgecko might be coming, as well. he's guest-researchering at a university in IL for a couple of months. And don't forget Thomas will be around too. Will Lena be around? Will you guys be doing Miguel's or Lindas? We'll probably be at Miguel's. We'll probably do Miguels. We have been doing Linda's in the summer, since (reliable) showers are pretty nice for washing off humid sweat, but it sounds like Miguel's might be a nicer place with friends this time around. Unfortunately, Lena will not be down this coming weekend. She had/has a three day weekend right now, and is doing a four day weekend at the Gunks with us in two weeks. Chossy, Welcome to Muthuhfuckin' Ole Kentuck, now! NOW! CRACK KILLZ!

Why is it that like every picture I see of Rumney it looks like the route has a) some big ledgefall potential, and 2) some dihedral wall that gets stemmed off of, even on the 5.13s. I would like to check the place out sometime, preferably when I am in good power/bouldering shape. I don't think that's a good representation of how rumney climbs. I've never been afraid i was going to hit a ledge. there is stemming on stuff that's in dihedrals but that isnt a majority no ledges or stems on Predator ;) 
2. That is the only route like that.
